I just recently been reading information on beekeeping
i have a super which was given to my father a couple years back and was left in are backyard, which holds a good hive of bees in (California)
my question is if its OK to add a hive body in the fall. the reason is i looked at inside and the super is full and the bees are still collecting pollen
Well the temperatures can vary widely in Cal. So where are you in Cal?
Sincerely,
Brendhan
In the central Valley the temp are in the upper 90's and 80's
What are the temps like on average in January?
Sincerely,
Brendhan
daytime: upper 50's lower 60's nighttime: sometimes it goes low as 28

I would wait on adding another super this late, it could create too much space in the hive come their winter cluster.
